For Vinnie, we always divide up any shots he must have so that he only receives one shot per visit. Upon receiving multiple shots in the past, he became quite ill. My vet also offers titer testing for some of the vaccines to see if the shot is really necessary. For the distemper, for example, Vinnie has always had adequate antibodies such that additional shots were not necessary.

Also, you should really consider which shots are necessary. Bordatella is only necessary if your dog is kenneled. Even when I take my dogs to be groomed, they do not absolutely require a bordatella (although they do recommend it).
